Thanks to nitoTV and the Electra Team, we now have a stable jailbreak for tvOS 11.2-11.3. If you heeded our advice in the run up to this release and stayed on the right firmware, you’re probably itching to try it out. We’ll show you how.

How to get the ElectraTV app onto your Apple TV

This process varies depending on whether you are an Apple TV 4 or Apple TV 4K user, and is unfortunately faster on the older device. Follow the section which applies to your device.

You enterprising bounders are going to have to get a little more involved due to the Apple TV 4K’s lack of ports, and are unfortunately going to need access to a Mac to proceed. If you don’t have one, I recommend asking a friend, or else installing macOS in a virtual machine on your existing laptop.

4) Your Apple TV will now respring. Afterwards, you should find the nitoTV app on your Home Screen, which is the Cydia equivalent for tvOS. You’re now free to use SSH, install unsigned apps, and install whatever tweaks there are on nitoTV.

If you have a free Apple account you will have to sideload the ElectraTV app again every 7 days. If you have a paid account, it will last for a year.

On Apple TV 4 it’s as simple as using Cydia Impactor again.

On Apple TV 4K, if you retained your signed app at the end of Step 5) of the section How to sign an app in our linked guide, you only have to use iOS App Signer on it again. This time, select the Re-Sign only option under Provisioning Profile in iOS App Signer. Then use Xcode to push it to the device (as per the section How to sideload an app in our linked guide). You will not have to repeat the other steps.
